Another Georgia Bulldogs product is joining the Eagles, this time through a trade rather than a draft pick.
In his NFL career, Swift has missed some time with injury and probably hasn’t quite lived up to his draft status but he’s still a dangerous player with a ton of potential. In his three years in the NFL, Swift has 364 carries for 1,680 yards and 18 touchdowns. He’s also a threat out of the backfield with 156 receptions in his career.
There are just five players in NFL history who have rushed for 1,500 yards with an average of 4.6 or higher and caught 150+ passes in their first three seasons and Swift is one of them. The other four are Alvin Kamara, LeSean McCoy, Christian McCaffrey and William Andrews. It never seemed likely the Eagles were going to pay Sanders on a long-term deal. They have found a way to piece together a running back room that could still be quite dynamic in 2023.
Before going to Georgia and becoming a college standout, Swift was a star running back at St. Joe’s Prep in Philly. He was high school teammates with Eagles receiver Olamide Zaccheus, who signed as a free agent this offseason.
